Frontegg’s end-to-end CIAM solution for agentic AI auto-generates the authentication code for both web and mobile apps; handles the creation, refreshing, and deletion of all OAuth access tokens; and creates visualizations from source data
With enterprise agentic automation fast becoming a reality, CIAM providers are racing to address the unique requirements posed by autonomous AI agents. To authenticate and interact with a third-party B2B application on behalf of a human user, AI agents need programmatic and persistent access, typically requiring token-based authentication and complex OAuth flows. Frontegg’s recently released Frontegg.ai takes an end-to-end approach, delivering out-of-the-box solutions for advanced use cases that require the integration of multiple B2B applications. The AI agent and all required third-party integrations can be created and configured in the Frontegg.ai dashboard in just a few minutes. The code for the authentication interface is automatically generated for both web and mobile applications and the platform handles the creation, refreshing, and deletion of all OAuth access tokens. This end-to-end authentication and authorization functionality can be integrated into the agent code with just a few lines. One of the innovative products being developed using Frontegg.ai is an analytics support agent that intelligently creates visualizations from source data, based on the requirements of different business personas and communicates them on a regular basis. The idea is that rather than manually visiting a portal to configure dashboards, users will interact with the AI agent outside of the portal as an intelligent analytics assistant. Some of the CIAM providers that support identity and access management for AI agents include: 1) Auth0’s Auth for gen AI enables multiple accounts for third-party applications to be linked into a single, unified profile. Users only need to authenticate once to authorize an AI agent to interact with all of the connected applications connected to their accounts.

Vouched’s solution allows users to verify agent identities and review reputation data using a community-driven assessment through MCP servers to report on the behavior of AI agents launches “know your agent” verification
Vouched announced the launch of several initiatives to ensure the coming ecosystem of AI Software Agents is built on a foundation of strong identity and trust. These include Agent Reputation Directory, a groundbreaking solution designed to address the critical gap in identity and trust for autonomous software agents – or, how to tell good agents from bad. As AI agents become increasingly integral to digital workflows, this tool ensures that only verified, trustworthy agents can participate in sensitive operations-protecting organizations and individuals from fraud, impersonation, and unauthorized access. As AI agents increasingly represent individuals and organizations in digital interactions, Vouched’s Know Your Agent introduces a suite of innovations that close critical identity gaps: 1) MCP-I (MCP-Identity): A proposed extension to the MCP protocol, MCP-I adds robust identity capabilities for both agents and humans, enabling secure, identity-aware communication in agent-based ecosystems. 2) Vouched MCP-Identity Server: A turnkey SaaS solution with easy-to-integrate APIs for strong identity verification in agent systems and applications. It includes a developer toolkit for AI agents to securely store verified credentials and delegations. Aligned with the MCP-I specification, the SDK supports scalable, standards-based identity integration for AI-driven workflows. 3) Know That AI (http://knowthat.ai): A transparent Agent Reputation Directory that allows users to verify agent identities and review reputation data, with a core focus on fraud prevention and digital trust. Know That AI is a community-driven system where MCP Servers can report on the behavior of software agents (good or bad) to lead to a community-driven assessment of that agent’s trustworthiness.

Mastercard and PayPal have partnered to co-develop features using Mastercard’s One Credential, a solution that enables consumers to use a single credential when shopping online or in-store. The companies aim to use this solution to give consumers more choice and control over how they pay at checkout, allowing them to access multiple payment options. One Credential can also help PayPal users improve their creditworthiness and progress from debit to installments and other structured credit. “We both want to reduce friction for consumers and bring them more power over how they pay,” Chris Sweetland, senior vice president of partnerships at PayPal, said. Bunita Sawhney, chief consumer product officer at Mastercard, said that the partnership with PayPal will build on “our collective strength of global payments innovation. With One Credential, we’re delivering the personalized digital experiences that build consumer confidence and trust.” Mastercard’s One Credential will allow consumers to choose to pay with debit, installments, prepaid or credit. Users can set their preferences online or in an app. They can also set preferences based on transaction type and time.
